Wasaga Beach Real Estate and Homes for Sale

As a real estate agent who specializes in Wasaga Beach, let me be your guide to what Wasaga Beach Ontario has to offer as a neighbourhood to finding homes for sale in the area.

The town of Wasaga Beach is located in Simcoe County, Ontario and is situated along the world's longest freshwater beach on Nottawasaga Bay at the south end of Georgian Bay. It is a popular local tourism destination because of its proximity to Toronto (2 hours to the south) while the town of Collingwood is a short drive to the west. Wasaga Beach can be found along 14 km (8.7 mi.) of the most pristine, white sandy beaches that Nottawasaga Bay and River have to offer.

The small township of Wasaga Beach is one of the more popular 4-season destinations in Ontario Province and draws over two million visitors every year. Granted, much of the allure of this area is attributed to the breathtaking sunsets and pure waters of the bay. However, there is more to this quaint little beachfront community than what you would expect. In the past 5 years, Wasaga Beach has become one of Ontario's fastest growing communities.

Summertime days are quite comfortable based on the moderate temperatures, while the waters of the Nottawasaga River are ideal for canoeing and fishing from March to October. Additionally, the warmer waters of the river are very conducive to summertime swimming. With the abundance of trails that head inland, outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy camping and hiking along the Ontario Provincial Park which is located near the city limits. Everything is just a short walk from the beachfront's commercial centres.

For parents with school age children, there are a number of elementary schools in the area. However, high school students will have to ride buses to the surrounding areas to complete their secondary education. The choices include Collingwood Collegiate Institute, Elmvale District High School, and Stayner Collegiate Institute. Whether you want to relocate your young family to the shores of Georgian or Nottawasaga Bay or retire in the area, Wasaga Beach is an ideal choice for your next home.
